"Actiniae Sea anemone Pl49" is an illustration from the renowned scientific work "Kunstformen der Natur" (Art Forms in Nature) by German biologist, naturalist, and artist Ernst Haeckel. Published in sets between 1899 and 1904, "Kunstformen der Natur" is a book of lithographic and autotype prints that showcases Haeckel's artistic interpretation of the diversity of life forms, many of which were then newly discovered. The work consists of 100 prints of various organisms, many of which were first described by Haeckel himself.

The "Actiniae" plate (Pl49) specifically depicts a variety of sea anemones, organisms belonging to the order Actiniaria. Sea anemones are marine invertebrates that are part of the phylum Cnidaria, which also includes corals and jellyfish. They are characterized by their radial symmetry, a central mouth surrounded by tentacles, and their ability to attach to surfaces in the ocean.

Haeckel's illustration captures the intricate details and forms of these creatures, emphasizing their radial symmetry and the patterns formed by their tentacles. His work not only contributed to the field of biology but also influenced art and design during the Art Nouveau movement, with its organic forms and structures.

The "Actiniae" plate, like others in "Kunstformen der Natur," serves as both a scientific document and a piece of artistic expression. It reflects Haeckel's belief in a profound aesthetic order in the natural world and his desire to synthesize art and science. The publication of "Kunstformen der Natur" had a significant impact on the understanding of biological organisms and inspired a wider public interest in the natural sciences.

Ernst Haeckel's "Kunstformen der Natur" remains a significant historical work, appreciated for its contribution to the fields of biology and the visual arts. The "Actiniae" plate is a testament to Haeckel's skill as both a scientist and an artist, and it continues to be admired for its beauty and scientific accuracy.
